Swedish cybersecurity company Clavister has been contracted by BAE Systems Hägglunds to deliver its CyberArmour system for the CV90 infantry fighting vehicle in a deal worth SEK 53 million (USD 4.7 million).
Clavister’s CyberArmour, which is an integrated defence cybersecurity system, will be used in CV90 platforms operated by a Scandinavian country as well as an eastern European nation. Deliveries of the system will be carried out over three years beggining in the second half of 2025.
John Vestberg, CEO of Clavister: “We are happy to conclude another important milestone in our relationship with BAE Systems Hägglunds. The CV90 continues to prove its superiority with existing and new nations voting for the platform. With strong cyber-defence capabilities, the CV90 is designed to meet also a highly versatile enemy on the battlefield”.
CyberArmour system
CyberArmour is a Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) designed specifically for in-vehicle applications. It features a cybersecurity gateway that integrates various digital subsystems based on specific needs, effectively managing the internal communication flow to thwart and minimize the effects of cyberattacks. To improve detection and response capabilities, a customized Artificial Intelligence (AI) engine is employed, which persistently analyzes communication traffic, identifies cyber threats in real time, and adapts through self-learning to counteract emerging and unfamiliar cyber risks.
The system can be integrated during the design phase of a military platform or incorporated as part of upgrade and modernization initiatives, as the hardware can be customized and optimized for each specific military platform. Clavister states that this capability enables military vehicles to maintain operational functionality even in the event of cyber breach attempts, thereby enhancing the survivability of these vehicles throughout their entire operational lifespan.
